Is Stadium Truck 17.5 or 13.5?
What's the Sportsman class? Is it the replacement for Rookie?

There isn't a formal Slash specific class this year, but if enough show up, we can certainly run them in their own class. Otherwise, they'll run with the short course trucks.

Stadium truck is open this year, no limit on motor.

Yep, Sportsman is basically the same as what rookie was in prior years.

A few quick notes for this weekend's opener, for those that haven't raced with us before...

1. Please bring cash, as we don't have a credit card machine. There is a Kwik Trip on the south end of town with a no-charge ATM if you need to get cash on the way to the track.

2. Full bathrooms available are on-site, and there's limited covered pit area under the park's shelter, which is first come, first serve. Bring a pop up if you end up pitting outside of the shelter. A couple of picnic tables are also available to pit on under the shelter, but bringing a table and chair would be a good idea.

3. Electricity is available near the shelter, but you'll want to bring an extension cord and a power strip. If you pit down by the track in the hockey rink area, bringing a generator is your best bet for AC power.

4. We will run the first round of qualifying at 11am, then take an hour lunch break before round 2 of qualifying. There's a Taco John's, McDonalds, Arbys, Godfathers Pizza (buffet), and a few other local eateries to get food from.

We'll be racing in less than 48 hours!! Yeah buddy!!!

Hey Bruce,

Nothing major as far as changes to the track for this weekend. Cory said he buttoned up some corners, fixed some of the landers, and a few other misc items, so the track will be ready to rock!

He did say that some fun changes will be coming very soon though...

The weather forecast keeps improving every day...mid 60's, a light breeze, and loads of sunshine!!

Here is a YouTube playlist of the races I recorded on May 7th. You can watch the buggy A main either from the camera on the fence or from the camera up above on the drone. Let me know what you think works better.
